SpaceX catches the Ship with the tower on the next Starship flight

Original 'next flight' meant Flight 14 after Flight 13 (Jul 24 2026). On Aug 20 Musk restated in his own words a tower catch 'in a few months' rather than on Flight 14. Fetched Sep 8 2026: Wikipedia's Starship flight test 14 page still lists Flight 14 (B21/S41) as upcoming NET September 15 2026, the vehicle's first orbital attempt. Super Heavy recovery is unknown; the Ship is expected to splash down in the Indian Ocean, with the tower catch deferred to a later flight. Booster 21 completed a full-duration static fire Aug 28; the stack has not launched. Status stays pending.
